Newbie here: what's the deal with Mohawk vinyl plank pricing?

hey op, where exactly did you get that $4.50 quote from, was it lowes or some supplier?

homeowners these days think theyre gonna get mohawk solidtech for $2 a sq ft cuz they saw it on some bargain site, its BS and they never appreciate the install work anyway.

man, i hear ya, homeowners always balk at $4.50 for solidtech like its gold-plated, been there on my first few jobs and it stings.

4.50 is gonna get you laughed out the door in this market, dont even think about dropping below 5.50 or you'll be workin for peanuts after material costs eat half your margin. i saw a buddy go under last year quotin mohawk at 4.20 just to win the job, and the homeowner still stiffed him on the final payment after nitpickin every plank. stick to flat rate sheets with clear add-ons for subfloor prep, or you'll get hosed every time. cheap vinyl like that always brings the bargain hunters who ghost you mid-project. watch out for those big box stores undercuttin everyone too, they flood the market with knockoffs. keep your quotes firm and walk away from the lowballers, trust me.

homeowner balked at $4.50? hell, i quoted $5.20 for mohawk last week and they tried to haggle me down to home depot special like i'm running a flea market. 😂

man, $4.50's right in the wheelhouse for solidtech but homeowners always think it's too steep till they see the cheap crap delaminate in a year, been burned on that lowball bs myself.

homeowners always balk at $4.50 for solidtech like they're getting ripped off, but screw that, they're the ones googling cheap big box crap and expecting pro work for free.

$4.50 is a steal for solidtech installs, if they're balking that hard they're just cheapskates hunting for diy deals and you'll end up with callbacks from their half-assed expectations.

Exactly, and then they complain about bubbles or seams later.

Yep, lost a whole weekend redoing a job last year because I caved on price.
